1. Characteristics of Mimosa

Mimosa is also called sensitive grass, shy grass, ugly grass and shy grass. Originally produced in the tropical regions of America, it is now widely distributed in tropical regions around the world. It is mainly produced in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Taiwan, and is commonly found in bushes and wasteland. Mimosa likes to grow in a sunny, warm and humid environment. The soil for cultivation must be well-drained and nutrient-rich loam. The characteristics of mimosa are mainly manifested in four aspects.

Appearance characteristics: The leaves of Mimosa pudica have a unique appearance. There are more than a dozen pairs of symmetrically distributed leaves on a petiole, and the leaves are feather-like. Mimosa also blooms, the flowers are smaller and light pink.

Leaves close together: This is the main characteristic of Mimosa. As long as it is stimulated by external factors, its leaves will close together. If you touch the leaves with your hand, they will close. If touched for a long time, its petioles will become droopy. But after you stop touching it, its leaves will quietly spread out again after a few minutes. In addition to external stimuli, the leaves of mimosa will close at night and on rainy days, and will open again during the day or on sunny days.

Predict the weather: As mentioned earlier, the leaves of the mimosa will close on rainy days and will close again on sunny days. Therefore, weather changes can be inferred based on this phenomenon. If you touch its leaves with your hand and they close and then open slowly, it means the weather will get clearer. If it closes and then opens quickly, it means it is going to rain. This has to do with the humidity in the air.

Predicting earthquakes: Mimosa leaves will show special signs before natural disasters. Normally, its leaves are open during the day, but if they are closed during the day or open at night, or even suddenly shrink, an earthquake may occur soon.
